Pink Hanamori
Pink Hanamori ( Japanese 花 森 ぴ ん く , Hanamori Pinku ; born November 5, 1977 in Shizuoka Prefecture , Japan ) is a Japanese manga artist .
Life
She is the youngest of three siblings. She began drawing at the age of eight to nine, but it was only when she was fourteen that she bought the tools she needed to draw manga. For her short story Miss Dieter Heroine she was awarded in 2001 at the 31st Nakayoshi young talent manga competition. It then appeared in a special edition of the manga magazine Nakayoshi , making it the first professional publication by the then 23-year-old illustrator, who was studying home economics at the time. A few more short stories for Nakayoshi and its sister magazines followed.
In 2002 Hanamori had a great success with the manga Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch , which she drew based on a story by Michiko Yokote and finished in 2005. This manga also first appeared in Nakayoshi magazine and later in seven anthologies by Kōdansha publishing house. Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch , like her other works, is aimed primarily at young girls, so it can be assigned to the Shōjo genre. The manga series was implemented as an anime television series and the first six anthologies had sold about one million copies in Japan by 2006. The Magical Girl manga is about a young mermaid who goes into the human world to look for her pearl, which she gave to a boy many years ago, whom she saved in a shipwreck.
From 2005 to 2007 she worked for Nakayoshi on the approximately 500-page manga series Yume Yume Yu Yu about a girl who wants to be a miko . Her wish comes true, but she has to save her world and another. In 2007 her work Himitsu no Darling was published in the same magazine . She is currently working on her current manga Fiance wa Monster !? , which is about a girl planning to move into a distant relative's house because her father has a new job. First of all, she notices that the house is full of monsters and then she meets a boy who gives her a special necklace with which she can transform herself to fight evil monsters.
From 2008 to 2009 she drew a reinterpretation of Osamu Tezuka's Ribbon no Kishi in the Nakayoshi in collaboration with Natsuko Takahashi who was responsible for the scenario .
Pink Hanamori was influenced by Yoshihiro Togashi's manga series Yū Yū Hakusho and the drawings of the mangaka Megumi Tachikawa (including Dream Saga ). Hanamori's work has been translated into English, French, Thai, Chinese, Korean and German.
